Day 12: MOAR Strike and some schooling

[wook77]

Day has been spent working and in tears. I worked what is, probably, my last shift at Fry's last night. I thought I was all right but it's so weird to think about being forced off my job tomorrow.

I've never been fired. It's sort of a weird position right now because it feels an awful lot like I'm being fired because Fry's is the one calling for the lockout of all union AND non-union employees.

IDK. I'm in a weird spot emotionally.

I called my student loan company to ask for a deferment as I'm losing my job and they won't give me one even though I'm going to be locked out and am not choosing to lose my job. Instead, I got lectures on how lazy I was to go on strike and how they can't be losing money just because I choose to walk away from my job and blahblahblah*insert judgmental cunty commentary* blahblahblah. So, I finally snapped at the woman that I'm going back to school and I'll be getting a student deferment instead and so they couldn't collect interest on my loans anymore and to "stick that in [her] judgmental crackpipe and smoke it" which, probably, was not the most reasonable/mature thing to say. But it did inspire to go to the local community college's website and register for two classes to maintain the 6 credit hours needed to put my student loans in deferment. Thus, I'm taking "The Holocaust" and "Gender Identities, Interactions and Relations". The second one sounds really cool:

Examination of the social structures and processes related to gender in society. Includes sex versus gender, theoretical perspectives, politics past and present, gender and the family, love and marriage, and masculinity. Also includes gender in the workplace, in the media, religion, and medicine, and global perspectives.

Both are either online or self-paced classes.

So fuck you, judgmental bitchy cuntragdoucheball at the student loans that I have overpaid 6 times in the past 9 months. FUCK YOU! I'm going back to school and there isn't a fucking thing you can do about it.

Thus, I should be able to almost pay my bills starting in April when I pay off my car loan to Bank of Dad. So now, my only concern is health insurance so I can get a couple of necessary surgeries done.

Is it Sallie Mae? It sounds like Sallie Mae. They're really judgmental and rude every time I talk to them. I thought I might even have talked to that lady. LOL

YAY for you for going back to school and getting them off your back. The classes do sound interesting! :D

Maybe you can get student health insurance through the university?

Don't you love it when PAYING MONEY for school means you SAVE MONEY? *\o/*

I'm so sorry you're upset and that you're life is teh shitty right now. *hugs* You're not getting fired. They're just making a big mistake and letting go someone awesome for $20/week. GOOD RIDDANCE on your part. :)

I am wishing for banana peels and birds to crap on the woman you spoke to at the loan company. And a better day for you. Thinking of you.

*hugs* Unions should be helpful and not hurtfil as this one's been.. Hate how it gives unions such bad names (grew up in a union family) and I can't believe the audacity of the the woman to say such shit. That's not professional at all wtf.

The second class does sound interesting tho. =D *hugs again*
